23-year-old Gold Coast golfer Elvis Smylie won on debut at the LIV Golf season opening event in Saudi Arabia and helped secure a team title with the all-Australian Ripper GC squad in Adelaide. The rising star is now climbing towards the world's top 50 rankings as he pursues qualification for the Masters tournament in the US. Smylie credits fellow Australian golfer Cam Smith, a British Open champion, as a significant mentor in his decision to join LIV Golf.
